I haven= 't had any reason to switch kernels lately, and don't want to try out the G= it repository stuff anyhow. The issue I am having is that when I plug in my headphones, the volume on t= hem is far too loud. It's almost enough to blast my eardrumbs--not literal= ly, but it's certainly not soft or quiet. By contrast, the speaker volume i= s quiet and at a level I can deal with. I've tried fiddling with Alsamixer, as well as amixer, the latter of which = doesn't make much sense to me. All I really want to do is lower the volume= of the headphone audio to a reasonable level, and I'm not quite sure about= how to do so. Any tips would be appreciated. Yours, Zack. _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Caf=E9.
